ZAPS Learning Company Becomes Doorway to College
Doorway to College Now Providing a Full Scope of ZAPS Test Prep Products and College Prep Services
(firmenpresse) - IOWA CITY, IA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/01/14 -- ZAPS™ Learning Company, an industry leader in college test prep products and services, announces its name change to ™.
Founded by Douglas J. Paul, Ph.D., in 1984, ZAPS previously provided ACT test prep and PSAT/SAT test prep services as its sole business. Under the Doorway to College umbrella, ZAPS Focused Test Prep encompasses seminars, webinars, streaming video, and digital ZAPS Score Boosters™.

The company assists students and parents in preparing for college through parent night presentations, free webinars, downloadable e-books, and other learning opportunities.

"Students need to know how important it is to research the vast options in front of them in order to choose the best 'fit' for them personally when it comes to their higher education options," says guidance counselor Lisa C. Scott, a member of the Doorway to College Advisory Council.
The transition from high school to college is often stressful, and the college application process is more complicated than ever. Parents and students should not hesitate to seek expert assistance. "With the full suite of practical and powerful college prep services that Doorway to College offers, families are better equipped to make wise decisions that set their student up for success, in college and beyond," says Doorway to College president Julia Wasson.
Each year, tens of thousands of high school students across the nation participate in ZAPS ACT and PSAT/SAT test preparation. ZAPS has been documented as effective in .
